This was the worst experience Ive ever had with trying to give money to someone in return for a service!! My car broke down on the corner located near his place of business on my into work, without doing any research (because I was late for work) I pushed my vehicle into his parking lot and regretted it the second he came out of his garage yelling at me to remove my car from where his wife parks. Once I explained the car wouldnt start and could you help me move it to where you want it he just turned around and went back inside while throwing tools that either hit a car or hopefully just his tool box. He sent his employee outside and had me move it one space over (his wife couldnt park there?) I explained I worked over at Honeywell and if he didnt think hed be able to figure it out I would just have the car towed to my normal mechanic and his entire attitude changed and he assured me hed have an answer before I went to lunch. After numerous phone calls that day he still didnt have answer on why the car wouldnt start(3pm), but not only that, he told me in the process of trying to start the car the battery died and wouldnt charge so I now owe him for a battery. He assured me yet again that he would have an answer for me shortly, I stopped by after getting off of work (4:50) and found his employee sitting outside and the shop locked up.. Even though posted hours are till 6pm and he told me hed be there when I got off. I took an uBer home $36.51 and took an uBer to work 38.11. I waited till 3pm to call him when I heard nothing from him all day, When he finally answered after leaving me on hold for 15 minutes he snapped at me and hang up. I immediately called a tow truck and after he made a huge scene about owing him $160 for a battery that had no name on it, I was able to get my car to my normal mechanic.. After being at my mechanic for 45 minutes they were able to trace the issue to a relay and charged me $126 bucks including parts, labor/diagnostic and tax.. Again, there was no reason for any of this! I could have just towed the car to my normal mechanic and uBerd to them after work and no one would have been inconvenienced.. Its a shame people like this exist just to waste peoples time! There are warnings out there, Dont ignore them! Bob at Absolute is not a good mechanic or person!

Do not take your car here. Dangerous mechanic that has no clue. 1. Took a used car here to get a thorough inspection. I thought it was a bit odd that it only took 40 minutes to come back with a thumbs up & only two minor issues.Which I had scheduled for repair after purchase. On the assumption that this guy knew what he was doing, I purchased the car. 2. Beyond him missing simple things like non-working headlight, bad odometer, he missed a SEVERE SAFTEY ISSUE. After doing the minor repair that was scheduled, he suggested I take the care to his guys down the road to get new tires. His guys took one bolt off of the wheel he just looked at and told me the threads were stripped. Meaning, the tire could come off at any moment. This was due to prior front end damage that he missed. 3. Immediately (within 30 minutes) took the car back to this guy & he says that either it was the other guys fault or I did something to the car in the 30 minutes I was gone. None of which was true. He was the last person to touch the wheel & stripped the threads by not hand turning the bolt a few times before putting lugs on. He proceeded to throw things around the shop swearing & yelling. I took iPhone video of him. 4. The next day, I get a call to say my car is ready. He had replaced the bolts but I had to pay for parts. Not the greatest thing to do but I wanted this nightmare over. 5. Within 48 hours of getting my car back, I am driving down the road while I hear a couple of pops on that wheel. MY WHEEL CAME OFF MY VEHICLE! This joker did not even do the job right & my wheel came off. Luckily, I was in a residential 30 MPH area & no one was hurt. I called him back & he again accuses me of doing something to the car. 6. I took the car to another mechanic. They immediately noticed the car had frame damage and I paid 1k to get this car fixed. Bottom Line: This guy has no clue. Im sure he can do $20 oil changes til the cows come home but do not trust what he says. His laziness cost me thousands of dollars and could have gotten me killed.

This place was amazing! The owner was beyond kind, helpful, thorough, and proficient. My girlfriends radiator cracked in her Toyota Solara while we were traveling over Labor Day weekend. I had called a couple of mechanics and as I figured, everyone was closed. When I placed the call to Absolute Auto, I was surprised when someone answered. I explained our situation and the owner asked us to bring our car to him and hed provide us an inspection. He showed us where the crack was and explained how it happened. He then mentioned that given the unfortunate timing of our breakdown, it might be difficult to locate a radiator. However, he ensured us he would give it his best to find what we needed. His persistence payed off! He located, picked up, and replaced the radiator within three hours. After the work was completed and the tests on the new radiator were done, my girlfriends car was road ready again. Before we parted ways, we discovered that it was lucky timing when I called the garage. The owner was only up there to collect some paperwork. HE WASNT EVEN OPEN! He took us in and fixed our car out of pure kindness. Accommodation at its finest.

As a business owner, I have taken ALL of my vehicles here for maintenance and repairs for over 3 years. I am happy with this business and will continue to use them. Prices are right and service is spot on. Bring you car in, I can recommend this business. As far as the post by the ex-employee (I have met him), I agree that he is a thief as he was actually caught stealing money (change) out of one of my vehicles while it was in for service. This guy is truly a dead beat, typical pill head looser and it is a good thing he is no longer there. It is a shame that such dregs of society can post about a business that was good enough to hire him and get his looser ass of the street. Oh well, life has a way of catching up to scum like him.
